Rev. Bill Lyon | Music by the Heritage Choir

Bring a flower.

In this beloved Unitarian Universalist ritual, we create something beautiful together—each person adding what they have brought. And then we do something just a little unexpected: we receive a different flower in return.

Not the one we brought. Not one we would have chosen.

In that simple exchange is a quiet truth about community: we are shaped not only by what we give, but by what we are given.

Whether this is your first Flower Communion or one you’ve known for years, come be part of this shared moment of beauty, trust, and belonging.

May 10 at 10:00 a.m.
First Unitarian Church, 536 Linton St.
Led by lay leaders from 6 UU congregations

Each of us finds our way into community in different ways—through a sense of belonging, through growth and change, through shared beliefs, and through the practice of love.

In this special service, lay leaders from Unitarian Universalist congregations across Greater Cincinnati reflect on what makes a congregation feel like home. Together, we’ll explore the many paths that draw us into community and sustain us along the way.

Presented by the UU Council of Greater Cincinnati, this service brings together voices from six congregations, with music from a combined choir. The offering will support MARCC (Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati).

All are welcome. Join us in person at First Unitarian Church or online via YouTube livestream (upcoming)

Rev. Bill Lyon | Music by the Heritage Choir

This is a season of thresholds—graduations, retirements, moves, quiet or sudden shifts. Times when something is ending, and something else is not yet fully clear.

In moments like these, we find ourselves sorting. Letting go of what we no longer need—or can no longer hold. Choosing, sometimes carefully and sometimes not, what will come with us into what’s next.

What we carry forward matters. This service invites reflection on the weight, the meaning, and the quiet freedom of choosing what stays with us.

May 31 at 10:30 a.m.

Rev. Bill Lyon

Every community—including ours—has a kind of music —woven from many voices, many stories, many acts of care and courage.

On this Sunday, as we gather to mark the work of the year and imagine what comes next, we listen for that shared song. The one shaped by generosity, by commitment, by the quiet ways we show up for one another.

What is the song we carry within us—and what does it ask of us now?

June 7 at 10:30 a.m.

Rev. Bill Lyon | Music by the Heritage Choir

Each of us lives, in some way, in a corner—shaped by where we’ve been, what we know, what feels familiar.

And yet, there are invitations all around us to step just beyond that edge. Sometimes through travel. Sometimes through a story, a conversation, or a new way of seeing—right where we are.

However we get there, those moments can stretch us—deepening our understanding and widening our sense of belonging.

June 14 at 10:30 a.m.

Rev. Dr. Doak Mansfield and Rev. Bill Lyon

Fifty years. Two hundred years.

On this Sunday, we honor both—the 50th anniversary of Rev. Dr. Doak Mansfield’s ordination by this congregation, and the 200th year of our life as a faith community in Cincinnati.

Together, our Minister Emeritus and our current minister will reflect on the ways a life—personal or communal—is shaped over time: through questioning, through change, through the fire of lived experience.

As we give thanks for the past, we also listen for what it asks of us now, and what it makes possible for the future.

We will begin this service in the Heritage Sanctuary and online at 10:30 AM incorporating many of our traditional worship words and hymns. Then we will join the livestream from the UUA General Assembly.
